toxicSome months back, ABC News Online reported: “The deaths of three people following a sweat lodge ceremony in northern Arizona were a tragic accident—not the result of criminal negligence,  said attorneys for the self-help guru who led the ceremony. Lawyers for therapist/ceremony leader James Arthur Ray outlined their defense in letters to prosecutors that were released [to the media]. The attorneys said holding a sweat lodge ceremony is not inherently criminal or unsafe, and that Ray had no reason to believe anyone would be seriously injured or die."

“Mr. Ray did not force anyone to participate, prevent anyone from

Jan Brewer said in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, adding that the Obama administration is turning a blind eye to it since migrants will help register Democratic voters. “It’s unfortunate because we all know that it’s election time and they believe allowing illegal immigration to take place will help them get people registered and help them have voters out there come the election.”

This is undoubtedly true. Of course Obama wants

atlascarriestheearthCNN online reports: "Occupy Wall Street protesters might say they represent 99% of the nation, but there's a growing number of Americans who are making it clear they are not part of the dissident crowd.

And the implication is that Wall Street executives and others who run businesses are unconcerned about the middle class majority? Do they not need employees?  Do they not care about pleasing their customers, the vast majority of whom are the middle class?
